I`m trying to recreate the graphical style of the NES for a game I am working on. Can anyone suggest a decent site with a tutorial on or some suggestions on how to create that old retro look. I have had a play around with a limited palette and it is actually a lot harder than it looks to create something that resembles those great old games. It seems that there is more to it than simply using a limited NES style palette. Any ideas? Also a site with an archive of NES screens would prove most helpful but a quick look on google hasn`t come up with much. (I already know about the VGMuseum site)
